99 pence Manx Meer.

I bought this off E Bay, the seller e mailed me to say she was sending me another pipe as well.

So two pipes for $1.50.

The Meer I spotted as a Manx due to the stem and the bowl shape.

Stem took a bit of cleaning as you can see in the before photo, but came up, the other pipe an Elephant Shape marked Genuine Briar is unsmoked.

Take a look.

Meer before.

Meer After.

Elephant Pipe.

I thought the Tobacco Jar and Pipe Rack was a perfect background.

Re: 99 pence Manx Meer.

That elephant pipe is soooo cool! I have two "face" carved briars and two monkey pipes...loads of fun to smoke, and they do turn heads! emoticon

The Manx cleaned up beautifully! What a difference a little time and lots of elbow grease can make, huh? Besides.......the price was right! Two for one...WOW! emoticon

Re: 99 pence Manx Meer.

What about the shape of the bowl marked as such? I also have an oblong shaped meer.
